Schedule:
Check the Weekly Schedule menu item on the left for weekly games and practice times. During the season, teams typically practice twice a week on weeknights for 90 minutes. Games are usually on weekends. Our teams play in the CBTBL, CGBL and NCC leagues. Click the LEAGUES tab on the left column for league websites.
Tryouts:
More information about Simsbury Travel Basketball Expectations and Tryouts can be found in the Parents tab. Online Registration for tryouts opens up in August, tryouts take place in October. There is no fee to try out.
Coaches:
All STBC Coaches must pass a background check, take the CDC Concussion training course and review the CDC information on staph infections for athletes.
Cost:
The cost to participate on a team for the upcoming season has not been determined yet. Last year it was $325 per player, we expect the cost will be similar this season. Costs include gym rental & custodial fees, game officials, league fees, website fees and team equipment. The fee does not include the cost of a uniform - approximately $75. Individual teams may choose to participate in activities that could require additional costs.
